TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Demi Laney, Planner I
SUBJECT: A request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the front door to a house.
FILE: CA -3105
STAFF REPORT
Jim Dangaran seeks permission to replace the front door to his property located at 2555
Louisiana Street. Mr. Dangaran has provided a picture of the door he intends to use, pending
your approval. The submitted door choice does appear to be appropriate for a Minimal
Traditional house in accordance to photos demonstrated in A Field Guide to American Houses
(Virginia & Lee McAlester, 198 4) on page 478. The transom light in the paneled door appears
to have been a popular trend for that era.
Staff recommends approval of the door.
The house is in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was built in
1942. The house is an example of World War II housing popular throughout the country.
Exhibits are attached.

American Houses Since fy¢o: Modern
MINIMAL TRADITIONAL (ca. [935-50)
With the economic Depression of the 1430s came this compromise style
which reflects the form of traditional Eclectic houses, but lacks their deco-
rative detailing. Roof pitches are low or intermediate, rather than steep as
in the preceding Tudor style. Eaves and rake are close, rather than over-
hanging as in the succeeding Ranch style. Usually, but not always, there is
a large chimney and at least one front -facing gable, both echoing Tudor
features. In fact, many examples suggest Tudor cottages with the roof
line lowered and detailing removed. These houses were built in great num-
bers in the years immediately preceding and following World War II; they
commonly dominate the large tract -housing developments of the period.
As the photographs show, they were built of wood, brick, stone, or a mix-
ture of these wall -cladding materials. Although most were relatively small
one-story houses, occasional two-story examples are also seen. More com-
monly, two-story houses of the period have extra detailing and represent
late examples of one of the traditional Eclectic styles, usually Colonial Re-
vival or Monterey.
